According to Dr. Suraj Giri – The conventional way of removing tonsils and adenoids was by using the cold steel method of dissection. These methods caused extensive pain, bleeding and damaged the healthy tissues. However, this new technology of Coblation® does not remove tonsils or adenoids by heating, burning, or preserving the healthy surrounding tissues.

Done under general anesthesia, the surgeon uses a special Coblation® wand to remove tonsils and adenoids in a minimally invasive way so that the patient can get back home early.
